Mary's Flowers-Gardens, Legends & Meditationsby Vincenzina Krymow.Ever
wondered how the Christmas Rose gets its name? Or how about the legends
and relationships between our Blessed Mother and the marigold, Lady's
Slipper or Rose of Sharon? In Mary's Flowers you can read about all of
these and many more of the flowers that through the centuries have come
to be associated with Mary, see photos from gardens dedicated to the
Blessed Virgin and even how to plant your own Mary Garden!! This is a
beautifully illustrated 8" X 10" book with meditations that truly
inspire. $29.99

OMG This was something we were FORBIDDEN to do growing up for fear
that
neighbors would think my family "just got off da boat!" It's
really not
just an Italian thing for I've seen it in Mexican
neighborhoods too.
It's that Catholic thing and especially the BVM
worship. Of course I
guess that it's in my genes for I've got a St.
Francis of Assisi (my
patron saint) statue and a small "shrine" type
area.

Hi Kitty,
There are areas in N.
Denver which were influenced by the Italian
Immigrants. It seems they
used the old Tubs upended and created Grottos for
the
saints.
